Abstract:

The present invention creates visual depiction of implied delineation within the source code of programming and markup languages for the purpose of simplifying visual and manual navigation. The present invention can easily identify where commands start and stop, making the writing and debugging process much easier. It clearly defines nested containers in an intuitive way, which allows for quick, clear and easy analysis of source code. The user who employs source charting can easily identify structure and hierarchy and thereby efficiently debug source code and/or make any changes or modifications that are necessary. Those new to the containment concept will with one glance at a source chart be over the learning curve. Intermediate and advanced developers can more efficiently track down bugs and/or make modifications in even complex documents. These drawn containers are collapsible and expandable, further making the data easy to understand and navigate.
